All: Although we have long collected asparagus, we fell in love with the genus during our 2005 trip to South Africa. You can see many of the species that we saw in the wild in our trip diary at http://plantdelights.com/South-Africa/departments/… If you like the genus asparagus, then a trip to South Africa is a must. Silverhill Nursery offers a very good selection of Asparagus seed. We are currently growing these in our garden.
